Thanks!

Although I have to disagree about Pharaoh being stonger than Church of the Machine. I actually find Pharaoh to be one of the weaker tracks from Divine Wings, while I consider Church to be one of the finest from Twilight. Just my opinion.

Pharaoh and Medusa's Eyes are in the middle. But that says something, knowing what a great album TDWOT is. To me they are better than Of Sins and Shadows, Sea of Lies, Out of the Ashes and The Witching Hour, but weaker than The Accolade, Candlelight Fantasia and the title track. Not by much tho.

For the most part I agree. But Pharaoh is better than Medusa.

Medusa > Pharaoh > Witching

Three weakest songs on the album, in my opinion. The music in Witching Hour is cool, but the vocal melodies just don't cut it for me.

Pharaoh has grown on me but is still the song I have gotten into the least out of the entire SymX catalog. Church of the Machine is far above it on my list.

The live version of Medusa is better than the record IMO and I listen to it frequently.

Witching has a cool kind of feel and ambience to it; it really sounds like a band from New England. I would love to hear it with a PL kind of production...

They played it VERY fast on the live album! While Medusa isn't in my top favorites in the Symphony X catalogue, I love the piano thing P plays in the intro polyrhythm before the verse.

I think Witching Hour has some excellent riffs, and the intro is awesome. But I just can't get into the vocals. It's not Russell's singing itself, but the melodies that suffer.
